Dunmoochin is a non-profit brand that offers residencies for emerging and established artists and researchers. Located in the natural bushland of Cottles Bridge, just outside Melbourne, their beautifully situated residences provide a place of retreat for successful applicants to immerse themselves in a unique natural environment for up to two years. The artist residences and communal grounds are private, ensuring a tranquil and focused atmosphere, with access to the property only available via appointment.

The Dunmoochin Foundation aims to promote arts practice, research, and environmental study by providing accessible residential facilities to a diverse range of international and Australian practitioners and researchers. Residents have the opportunity to access the Foundation's extensive art collection, held at La Trobe University. Dunmoochin also celebrates its rich cultural and artistic history, dating back to the 1950s when a group of artists established one of Australia's first artistic communes in Cottles Bridge.

In addition to the residential properties, Dunmoochin offers three studios, printmaking facilities, and communal grounds that include a pool, croquet court, and acres of natural bushland. The foundation welcomes applications from artists of all mediums as well as environmental and artistic researchers. Residencies are available at a subsidized cost, making them more accessible to artists.
